Well, I finally switched dentists ( closer location to my home), and boy I'm glad I did! The office staff is great, and the dentist and hygienist were both outstanding. It was my first visit, and they made me feel very at ease with the whole process - full x-rays, teeth cleaning, and advice for future dental work. No cavities this time around! "Thank you so much for the excellent dental care on my very first visit! Your expertise and compassionate concern for the person in the dental chair (me) is most appreciated. I highly recommend this dentist! PS: the office is beautiful which is always a nice touch! Lots of parking too! read more

If you're looking for a great Dentist, search no further! Dr. Merchant is excellent, he's gentle, listens to his patients and is extremely professional. His entire staff is caring. I am a difficult patient, in the sense that I need extra numbing...But I'm always taken care of. Thank you to Loving Dentistry! read more

Dr. Merchant is the best dentist. He is very gentle, calm and genuinely care about you. His team are all amazing. I highly recommend to everyone. read more

I've been coming to Loving Dentistry for a long time now (it's been over a decade?!?) and they are still wonderful, caring, and thoughtful. This place is by far my favorite place to get my teeth cleaned, fixed, and cared for. The staff members are always so pleasant and professional. Even during COVID they are working hard and taking the appropriate precautions to make sure they can help people while keep their staff members as safe as possible. I needed to have a filling replaced and they took their time to make sure I was numb (which is a huge chore - it takes about 5-6 shots and an hour) before they started working on me. As someone who's worked in medical billing in my past, I can assure you, they don't get to charge extra for that, it's all the same price to the insurance company. Having a dentist who cares about making sure you're comfortable while dealing with some of the most sensitive nerves in your body is worth the drive! Definitely come check them out if you need work done. They'll take great care of you! Thanks Loving Dentistry family! Special thanks to Ann and Dr. Merchant for putting up with my whining! See you again soon (hopefully not too soon)! read more

My children were ready to go to an adult dental practice. They loved it! My daughter said they were lovely. We had a good time with the name, but really, it was a wonderful first experience. My son goes on Monday. I'm sure it will be equally lovely. :) read more

This clinic is still my favorite!. Always clean, the staff is friendly, relaxing atmosphere and Dr. Merchant is very professional. Also thumbs up to Tony because she is super kind and excellent at her job!. Thank you!! read more

Very nice cleaning. Doctors are professional. Highly recommend.

This is my favorite dentist! I have really bad dental anxiety due to bad dental experiences in the past. I've been coming here for a few months now and every visit I get treated with love and care! The staff are all so friendly and happy! Gemma, at the front desk always has a smile on her face! She's one of my favorites! Dr. Merchant and Dr. David are great and extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Merchant always finds a way to make a bad situation a little bit better/pleasant. He is also the type of dentist that is willing to work with you! For as long as I stay in Washington state, I don't think I'd visit another dentist. Thank you Dr.Merchant and team for easing my dental anxiety and for making every visit a pleasant one! read more

Very professional, clean and friendly. I was looking for a new dentist since my dentist of over 30 years retired. Loving Dentistry came up a few times when I was asking around for recommendations. Really important to me right now due to the pandemic to feel comfortable and safe when making a dental appointment. I wasn't disappointed and so happy I found a new dentist! read more

My husband has been going here for years. We then decided to start taking our son, when he was ready for his first dentist visit. I soon realized it was silly for me not to go as well, so I switched! They have been nothing but kind and supportive! They treat us like family. I love their ease of communication through texting! I love that I know everyone by name. It truly is a wonderful place to be with quality of care and quality of service! I haven't had a ton of dental work done, since I am a newer patient, but they have done amazing work with my husband. Also, their patience with our son is amazing, as he begins to understand the dentist! Nothing but GREAT reviews for Loving Dentistry! read more

I really like Dr. Merchant and his team and their services. Even though I have to drive a ways to get there, I know I am in good hands.

The entire staff here are outstanding. We had been going to another dentist for about 10 years, and weren't exactly happy with the service we were getting. I just wish we switched earlier. I have extreme cold sensitivity, and the hygienist offered warm water and even numbing gel. It's the first time in a decade that I wasn't holding back tears during a cleaning. I am extremely happy with the level of service & caring here. read more

Our children are now seeing Dr. Merchant and his amazing staff now too. They really like them and I love the fabulous care they receive. Especially given they still have some cosmetic work in their future. We know they are in great hands. Highly recommend! read more

Like most people, I don't really like going to the dentist. So I appreciate that Loving Dentistry is on time, does a thorough cleaning and gets me on my way fast! I'm not left sitting in the waiting room, or dentist's chair wondering why I'm there instead of somewhere else. :-) Whenever there is an issue, I feel like my questions are heard, respected and Dr. Merchant does a great job of figuring out the best solution for me - even if it may not always be the obvious one. So yeah, 5 star rating from someone who would generally prefer to be anywhere but at a dentist. They make me hate it just a tad bit less. read more

Dr Merchant and Loving Dentistry was referred to me several years ago. He is kind, gentle and gives pain-free treatment. I have had a lifetime of dental issues, all of which have been corrected by Dr Merchant and his team. His proactive approach and ability to detect very small problems before they how into big problems had saved me not only money and time, but has saved my teeth. I have so many friends that have had bad dental work over the years and now are having to have teeth pulled and implants. Fortunately, Dr Merchant has caught things in time before they turn into a major problem. Highly recommend! read more

I am new to the area so this was my first time visiting Loving Dentistry and was extremely pleased! They welcomed me with open arms and everyone was incredibly kind. I felt comfortable and didn't have any concerns. Highly recommend! read more

My family has been a loyal client of Loving Dentistry for 14+ years. The staff has cared for our dental needs, since my daughter's first visit at 3-years old, with constant care and quality of work. Dr. Merchant is professional and informative; I never feel pressured to accept services and completely trust his advice. The Admin staff is friendly, understanding, and always helpful and clear regarding insurance and billing. We've actually moved 20 miles away and still make the trip to Issaquah for our appointments at Loving Dentistry. read more

Still my favorite Dentistry! Can't wait to take our little guy there. Hope you guys have a Happy Holiday

I have been going to see Dr. Merchant and staff for close to 10 years now and couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Gemma is always so sweet and inviting as well as the entire staff. They are never pushy when it comes to getting any work done and are always more than willing to help you figure things out as well as answer every question you have. The BEST staff you'll ever meet. read more

My family and I have been going to Loving Dentistry for about 9 years now, they are great! Dr. Merchant is a great friend of us now and we appreciate everyone's attention and friendship read more

I've been to many dentists over my lifetime and this is 100% by far the best. From the office staff to the doctors they are all wonderful. Beautiful new office. Always recommend to anyone that asks read more

This is hands down the best dentist office I have been to. They take Covid precautions seriously, they are professional and polite and they use some great tech. I recently had a cracked tooth fixed, the process was pain free and I'm extremely happy with the results. If I could give them more stars I would! read more

I am so glad I found this place. This is the greatest dentist I have ever seen. The office staff is exceptional. The only thing I would want them to add is expanded hours and days. read more

I've been going to Loving Dentistry for several years now and can't complain! They always get me in on time and the dental hygienists are all very nice. Besides normal cleaning routines, I've had to have a filling replaced and it was one of the more "enjoyable" experiences I've had with fillings. Their office is very easily located as well, even though the parking lot is small there's always parking. I've never had any issues with billing or insurance either which is a plus! read more

I am so lucky to have found Loving Dentistry! I recently moved from Chicago and have had issues with TMJ/grinding and chipping my teeth that were never addressed by my former dentist. Dr. Merchant is a breath of fresh air! He immediately wanted to determine the root cause of my issue vs. putting a bandaid on them. He also fit me for a night-guard that properly fits my teeth and doesn't rock in my mouth like guards I've had in the past. Dr. Merchant has an extreme attention to detail which I really appreciate. Also, not to mention, the Loving Dentistry hygienists and staff are extremely personable, thorough and helpful. Thanks Loving Dentistry!!! read more

Process for checking is very smooth and user friendly. I really enjoyed the dentist, and will be coming back!

I was lucky enough to have the same dentist for over 30 years Sadly, the day came when I needed to switch. My husband starting going to Loving Dentistry and had a great experience. After going through a few dentist who weren't honest, I finally gave them a try. I'm not a huge fan of going to the dentist, but I am at ease during my appointments. Everyone is very nice, accommodating and honest! Couldn't be happier! read more

I will say it every year-my family loves Loving Dentistry! Although not everyone loves going to the dentist, they do their best to make it a pleasurable experience- their customer service is always first class as are all of the providers! No need to say more, the fact that we go back year after year after year says it all! Give them a try- you won't be sorry! read more

I'm new to this practice and I must say that I am very happy that I found this place! I've done alot of research trying to find a dentist in the area and landed here. The location is in a great spot, easy to find and the office is nicely decorated, clean and organized. The front desk staff is always very friendly and helpful. The assistants and hygenists are also always friendly smiling and they make you feel comfortable. Dr. Merchant is amazing!! He made me feel welcome and always so pleasant. He is very professional and has a calm demeanor that helps when I'm nervous. Both he and his assistant Patty did a great job on the few appointments I've had so far. I had a tooth saved and had a cap put in. It looks and feels great, it doesn't even look like I had work done, it was perfection! Not to mention the reminder emails with a simple "click" to confirm is convenient. I highly recommend Dr.Merchant and his team at Loving Denistry! If you are looking for a new dentist or new to the area, check this place out! read more

I use to hate going to the dentist until I came to this practice. Dr Merchant and Dr Chu always answer all of my questions and I feel confident in there ability to provide me with care. I love this office, because they are so accommodating to there patients and I feel like they care! I thought this office was hilarious when I first came to the office because they had cookies in the waiting room. read more

Drove to my appointment from Orting WA to see Colleen & Dr. Merchant. Excellent care & treatment from top to bottom & front of office to back. Will do it again:) I am also very picky about where I get my dentistry done because I'm a dental hygienist. That says a lot about the quality of care you will receive at Loving Dentistry. We hygienists are very very picky about the work that goes into our mouths!!!!! Give them a try! read more

Absolutely shocked after 15 years as a patient and truly sad. Dr. Loving was the best dentist with a great gift of making me and my two daughters feel less anxious about going to the dentist. I actually drove from Ballard to Issaquah for 15 years to see Dr. Loving. She was the only dentist I trusted after terrible experience as a child with dentistry. When I called to reschedule an appointment today I learned that she "retired" in April! I asked if they had sent an announcement to patients that I may have missed in the mail. In the past she sent letters communicating time she was taking off and birth announcement of her children so it was her common practice to commuincate with her patients. The receptionist said "No, that she left a plaque in the office that she was retiring"?! I struggle rating this practice now because I feel that the trust I had in Dr. Loving is broken. For 15 years I would have given it 5 stars and have referred many friends to her practice over the years. My daughter saw one of the new doctors a couple of months ago and I asked if Dr. Loving did her filling. She said that a male dentist attended to her and I asked if he was as nice as Dr. Loving was. She said "not really". I have not seen him myself to make a truely fair statement in his demeanor but I am really struggling with the fact that they did not disclose of Dr. Lovings "retirement" in opaque manner. I feel I have no choice but to start looking for a new dental practice--what else will they not tell their patients? read more

I was having trouble finding the right oral surgeon to remove my wisdom teeth for me. I was told by Loving Dentistry that if I went to a certain place, I wouldn't be charged for certain things. So of course I said I wanted to go there and get an appointment with them. After visiting the oral surgeon, I get a bill that was close to $200 in the mail. I called them and they said that i had to pay all the expenses, that nothing was discounted. So I called Loving Dentistry and asked them why there was miscommunication and if I made a mistake. The lady in the accounting department called the oral surgeon and talked to them and told me she would take care of it. I get a call from them with a new price of $47. Thank you to the lady in accounting for taking your time and making sure I got the proper care! read more

I've been going to Loving Dentistry for nearly 15 years. I've had multiple procedures done and always have so much confidence in Dr Merchant and the staff. They are kind and they take time to answer any questions you might have. I've been especially impressed during Covid. On top of the normal universal precautions that they always employ they've also added air purification suction units in each operatory, cold fogging between patients, and high volume intraoral suctions for aerosol reduction. I know this because I asked before I went in and I've never felt safer when I did go in for my cleaning a few weeks ago. read more

Dr Merchant, Gemma and the entire staff are the very best in Dentistry!! They are always considerate and helpful! Dr Merchant has been the first dentist in a long time to actually make me smile instead of cry! He is quick, calming and professional. I'm probably the worst patient because I have several medical issues that cause me great pain and are very inconvenient for the dentist and staff, yet, they never make me feel uncomfortable or bothersome. A wonderful dentist and staff! Thank you read more

When looking for a new dentist after mine retired, I asked my friend's daughter, an orthodontist in Washington, for a recommendation. She referred me to Dr.Merchant as "the best in my neighborhood". With that endorsement, we started visiting Loving Dentistry and have been extremely pleased with the office staff, hygienists and Dr. Merchant ever since. It's always hard changing dentists but I highly recommend Loving Dentistry if you have just moved to Issaquah or haven't seen a dentist in a long time, or need a change...go!! read more

Dr Merchant and his staff are friendly, kind, and patient. They all do everything possible to ensure your experience is pleasant and that you are relaxed and comfortable. For anyone with dentist anxiety, Dr. Merchant and his team are fantastic! They have done a wonderful job making sure they have COVID protocols in place as well the ensure the safety and health of their team and customers. Thank you! read more

Was recommended to this dental office by a friend. The staff is friendly and kind, thorough cleanings and very professional. Very pleased!

I really appreciate the professional staff at Loving Dentistry. I was a new patient at the beginning of the year. Before that, my last teeth cleaning had been about 1.5-2 years prior. Unfortunately, I had a lot of sensitivity and discomfort with my initial cleaning at Loving Dentistry. It had prevented me from booking my 6 month teeth cleaning appointment sooner because I had so my anxiety around the discomfort with it. I finally mustered up the courage to take advantage of my insurance before the end of the year. I expressed my concerns to the receptionist when she called to confirm my appointment. She really encouraged me to advocate for myself if I have pain during the appointment and made a special note to use topical anesthetic before the cleaning. The receptionist really put me at ease and made me feel confident about going to this appointment. My sweet dental hygienist, Tonie, really took my pain into consideration and was so gentle and thorough during my cleaning. I couldn't have appreciated it more! Her care and consideration made me feel like I could face the dentist again! Thanks, Tonie! (I will try to make my flossing my New Years Resolution!) To top it off, Dr. Merchant is so pleasant and down to earth. He makes an effort to ask about yourself and get to know you and I appreciate the personable touch. Not to mention, he really takes time to answer your questions and make appropriate referrals. The whole team at Loving Dentistry really make you feel cared for as a patient. From front-end staff, throughout. An outstanding dental office. Thank you so much! read more

Have been coming to Loving Dentistry for about 25 years and wouldn't think about changing to anywhere else. Great staff. Great dentists. Great location. Going to the dentist is not my all-time favorite activity in life but these guys make it more than tolerable! Warm, friendly, funny, and safety conscious. Thank you everyone! You all rock! read more
